Cengiz Hartmann

Cengiz Hartmann is a German artist and designer based in Detmold who reduces objects to the essential without taking away their poetry. He describes his method through the German word Begreifen, which means both to grasp and to understand: a haptic form of thinking in which making and revealing are inseparable. Since 2019 he has worked as a research assistant in the interior design department at TH OWL in Detmold, and he is a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and the Lippischer Künstlerbund.

His work moves between series of objects, vases, wall pieces, murals and whole environments, shown with galleries and at fairs: RoCollectible at Galleria Rossana Orlandi and ALCOVA during Milan Design Week, Collectible Brussels, Dutch Design Week with Piet Hein Eek. He received the Caspar-von-Zumbusch-Preis and works directly with private clients.
